[Biophysical concept of the human autodiagnostic system]

A possible neurophysiological mechanism of the therapeutic effect of weak influences was proposed, which is based on the following assumptions: 1. In the organism, there is an autodiagnostic system, which serves for the accumulation and processing of information on the state of the organs to diagnose a desease. 2. The autodiagnostic disease is a recognizing system, i. e., a neuronet, which is constructed and functions according to the paradigms of neurocomputing. 3. Systemic (psychosomatic) diseases appear to result from erroneous diagnosis due to the defects of the autodiagnostic system. The influence of puncture on biologically active points corrects these defects, providing a positive therapeutic effect. A theoretical model for the structure and functioning of the autodiagnostic system is discussed. It is shown that the structure of the model autodiagnostic system coincides with that of Rexede plates forming the gray substance of the spinal cord. The experimental data on Rexede plates and their connections with organs and corresponding biologically active points are discussed. A relationship between the concept of the autodiagnostic system and the basic principles of alternative eastern medicine is discussed. It is shown that the Chinese model of puncture therapy represents a verbal description of the topological features of the phase space of the mathematical model for the recognizing neuroprocessor.
